The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-11-11

O'Neill, one of the two guards who re-
manned on duty before Lingg'S cell through
out the day, declared that Lingg was the
coolest man in the Cook county Jail He
was very pale, but his appetite was good,
and he slept we'll
HOW THE OTHER ANARCHISTS TOOK IT.
The explosion created a decided sensation
in the jail. All the prisoners, over 200,
heard the report. Jailer Folz was the one
who carried the news to the ether
Anarchists The jailer approached Parsons
cell, "Lingg has killed himself" said Mr..
Fol2. "Great God is that sol' exclaimed
Parsons.
Yes, its fact" was the reply.
''Wen, my God" exclaimed Parsons, 81
wish ] had some dynamite, / would kill
myself only too quick
August Spies was then informed of the
tragedy. II expected nothing else," said
Spies quietly. Ever since the finding of
the bombs in his cell last Sunday | was
satisfied that if it was possible he would
make away with himself. For my own
and my comrades sabes | am glad he is out
of the way According to Jailor Foz all
the remaining Anarchists are completely
broken down. They look on the suicide of
Lingg as placing him in the category of
extreme Anarchists, which places they do
not wish to occupy themselves.
sCHwAB DEPRESSED.
Schwab became deeply depressed. He
walked up and down his cell with his head
on his breast. Engel and Fischer refused
to talk to their keeper, but were evidently
almost overwhelmed by the tragedy.
While it is generally thought around the
Jail now that Lingg had all along deter
mined on ending his own life in some tragic
manner, it is also believed that for some
reason or other he committed the act sooner
than he first intended. Tuesday when Capt
Black was leaving the Jail on his way to
Springfield, Lngg called him to the grating
opposite his cell, and in broken English,
asked him to see that he had some clean
linen sent him, and he was also very par
ticular that it should be arranged that the
messenger who brought him his clean
clothes should take away his soiled things.
''All right, I'll attend TO it," Said Capt.
Black, "What shall do for you at Spring
field!n
Lingg shook his head and said: "Do not
forget the clothes"
LIKE FRIGHTENED BEASTS.
When the explosion occurred all the An
archiSt prisoners were on their feet in an in
stant, and every one of them looked stupid
and frightened Jailer Folz at once gave
orders to have every one of the other cells
searched, and Parsons was the first one
descent was made upon. The deputies en-
tered his cell, took him by the wrists and
shoulders and led him TO Jailer Folzs
private Office. There he was de-
tanned until his cell was searched, and
nothing was found. The ex-editor Of the
Alarm shivered with excitement, fear and
curiosity. His face was white, and his eyes
looked ready to start from their sockets
He was in his shirt and trousers, and a wide
felt hat shaded his face. 1t is believed by
some of the reporters that something was
found on Parsons, although the Jail officials
deny this. Parsons was given a new
suit of clothes to put on and was taken
to another cell, where he now is, with
two deputies standing guard over him.
One of them stands back of the cell and the
cells were also searched, but nothing was
found. When Engel was being searched
he completely broke down and cried like a
child.
LINGG HID 1T IN HIS HAIR.
Jailer Folz was asked this evening to ex-
plain the way in which Lingg had kept his
dynamite from the eyes of the keepers. He
said: You know that Lingg had very
bushy head of hair. 1t is not without
the bounds of possibility that he placed the
cap in his locks and kept it there
while we searched him last Sunday. At
that time he was stripped completely. My
find nothing of suspicious character" d"
Jailer Folz thus explains the manner in
which Lingg took his life: He said: "Lingg
il some way became possessed of a dyna-
mite cap. This cap is between one and one
and one-half inches long. 1t is made of
copper, and the outer end is plugged up with
al piece of lead. The copper for at least
half an inch was filed with dynamite, then
a small portion is filled with Illuminating

of braided cloth. In my opinion Lingg,
while lying in bed reached out his hand,
took from his table the lighted candle, then
placed the explosive in his mouth with the
fuse outward, this he placed to the candle
and his mortal wound followed. As soon
as the surgeon arrived he ordered Lingg
taken to another room. The one selected
was the bath room of the Jail. The dying
man was carried to this apartment and
placed on hastily improvised table.
WORK OF THE DOCTORS.
By this time three other physicians had
arrived. One dressed the torn flesh, and
another gave attention to tine tongue of the
mortally wounded man. a portion of the
tongue was left, and was attached to the
palate This fell back into the throat, stop
ping Linggs breathing. The physicians
pulled this back, and string was attached
which was held by deputy, thus allowing
respiration. w nile this was gong on an
other surgeon operated a. deodorizer. An
other had syringe in his hands, and fire.
ouently injected portions of brandy and
again doses of salt. Morphine injections
were also given, but Lingg died at 2:50
o'clock this afternoon.
IN KEEPING WITH HIS LIFE.
Lngg's act to-day was in keeping with
his mast life. In 1883 he was forced to leave
his native town in Germany. After good
deal of wandering about Germany he finally
landed in Switzerland, There he continued
to fight the 'blue," as the social Democrats
are called by the red followers of
Herr Most. IL was then that the
Social Demokrdt, the official organ Of
the German Socialists, published a notice
declaring Lingg to be an informer and spy
of the German government. In 1885 he
came to America. In New York he stayed
only few days, and then proceeded farther
West to Chicago Here he joined the North
Side group of Internationals, and soon
became manufacturer of bombs, one
of which was used at the Haymarket
TRIED TO KILL AN OFFICER.
When two policemen went to arrest him
the next day one of them entered his room
while the other STAYED outside the house.
The latter soon heard shouts for help, and,
running into Linggs room, found that the
Anarchist had thrown his partner on the
floor, and was only prevented from shooting
him by the policeman, who had q
